Re: International Experience Canada
You gotta remember that the Irish economy is and has been for a while doing a lot worse than that of the United Kingdom!

Depends what it was for - things like speeding are civil offences, so won't show up, but others will.

They will but only if he was convicted or accepted a caution in relation to his criminal offences: If he was merely arrested but not convicted, even for murder, nothing will be on there.

One thing they need to be aware of, is that they can only include you on any application for PR until the age of 22, so make sure they apply for PR before then!

Re: International Experience Canada
True, but as it was described as a 'driving offence' I'd assume that means he was convicted of it.

Re: International Experience Canada
For the 1st round of IEC do you need to submitt a ACPO or does that come later?

In which case, then no. You wouldn't get a Temp Work Permit, so although you could accompany your parents and go on their application, you'd essentially be on a visitor visa for the duration. So if you want to work, you'd need to get an IEC.

Re: International Experience Canada
I am not too sure on the subject (anyone else with knowledge feel free to correct me), but I think if your partner has paid off the fine and everything, it will say on the police report "no live record". As in, there are no pending charges, but there is evidence of a past record.
If you think he does have a criminal record from a conviction of any sorts and it is longer than 5 years since the conviction date then it is considered as spent and as flo-bee pointed out it will show as NO LIVE TRACE which the IEC is pretty flexible with for minor offenses from what I've heard.
I wouldn't worry.
Oh yeah, as someone pointed out, a caution also counts as a conviction these days too. Crazy! In my day a caution was nothing more than a verbal warning, now it's a bloody record!

Re: International Experience Canada
When are you/they moving and when are you 22? As truck driver isn't a 'skilled' occupation, their only option to apply for PR is the Alberta PNP, and your father would need to have worked there for 6 months before applying, so it could be cutting it fine!

Driving offences, in general, aren't classed as a criminal record even if you are arrested for it. You would need to be arrested, charged and convicted in court of a (best way I can describe it) 'driving related crime' such as; drink driving, causing death or injury by dangerous driving, negligent driving etc. If he was arrested and not charged or just recieved a fixed penalty notice for a driving offence then he won't have a criminal record.
If you think he does have a criminal record from a conviction of any sorts and it is longer than 5 years since the conviction date then it is considered as spent and as flo-bee pointed out it will show as NO LIVE TRACE which the IEC is pretty flexible with for minor offenses from what I've heard.

I think you're allowed a maximum of two summary offences and you can still be eligible to enter- one summary offence I'm pretty sure if nothing to worry about, whether it shows up on your ACRO certificate of not.
If anyone wants to check the detailed rules that currently apply concerning criminal inadmissibility to Canada, you can read up on it here:
